[edit] About the song

[edit] Music video

The video was directed by Michael and Mark Polish (aka the Polish Brothers), and featured each band member on their own journey across various landscapes, only to be joined together on a stage before an intense sunrise for the chorus.

Each band member's storyline was filmed in a different film or digital format, creating a very different look for each set of scenes. Several versions of the video were made available on the Internet, with each version focusing on the storyline of one band member.

[edit] B-sides, bonus tracks and remixes

Several remixes were released, from Jason Nevins, Eric Prydz, and Peter Presca, among others.

[edit] Covers, samples, & media references

As of 2006, the song is used in the beginning sequence of the television programme Sunrise on Seven Network in Australia.

[edit] Chart positions

The single was released on 27 and 28 September 2004 in various markets. "Sunrise" peaked at number 5 on the UK singles chart in October 2004, and reached Number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart on 4 December.
